Abstract
Critical Discourse Studies, or CDS, is a multidisciplinary field of research which is broadly concerned with analysing how language and discourse are used to enact, maintain and challenge power relationships within society. CDS comprises a number of approaches to studying situated language use. In this chapter, we explore how such approaches can (and have) been used to help us understand and critically engage with the various ways in which migrants are talked about and represented – and in turn, understood – within societies. Following this survey, we demonstrate what a critical examination of representational discourses around migrants might look like by presenting an analysis of the discourses that characterise UK media representations of migrants who cannot speak English. The chapter then concludes by addressing some of the ethical considerations that arise when carrying out CDS research, both in relation to migration and in more general terms.
